šµāš« š šš AMERICA UNDER THE INFLUENCE: MUSKāS DRUG-FUELED MASSACRE
Trump Put a Drug-Addled Billionaire in Chargeāand America Paid the Price
Elon Musk didnāt just show up to Trumpās second term as a quirky tech mogul with a libertarian streak. He showed up with a pharmacy in his backpack and a mandate to dismantle the federal government. What followed wasnāt governanceāit was demolition, fueled by delusion, stimulants, and a level of privilege so vast it rendered accountability obsolete.
According to The New York Times, Muskās drug use during his time in the Trump administration was not casual. It was chronic. His regimen included:
Ketamine ā a dissociative anesthetic that, with frequent use, causes memory loss, poor judgment, paranoia, hallucinations, and bladder damage.
Adderall ā a powerful stimulant that, when misused, can lead to manic behavior, aggression, and delusional confidence.
Ecstasy (MDMA) ā a psychoactive drug that distorts perception, impairs impulse control, and wreaks havoc on serotonin levels.
Psilocybin Mushrooms ā hallucinogens that further blur the line between insight and insanity.
Ambien ā a sedative that can induce sleepwalking, confusion, and amnesia.
He took them not occasionally, but daily, according to multiple sources. He traveled with a 20-pill box, mixing uppers, downers, psychedelics, and mood stabilizers while overseeing Trumpās so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
And Trump gave him the green light.
In exchange for $275 million in campaign donations, Musk was handed unprecedented power. Not just influenceāauthority.
He called it efficiency. In reality, it was sabotage from a walking medicine cabinet.
People died. Not figurativelyāliterally. Entire systems meant to protect public health, food safety, education, housing, and environmental stability were gutted with reckless abandon. Critical safeguards vanished overnight. Vulnerable Americansāchildren, veterans, the poor, the sickāwere left exposed to bureaucratic collapse and institutional decay. Musk didnāt reform government. He burned it down from the inside, high out of his mind, and cheered on by Republican grifters.
And all the while, Musk live-tweeted memes, bragged about impregnating yet another woman, and praised Hitler at CPACāwhile visibly twitching, rambling, and behaving erratically in public appearances.
This isnāt about recreational drug use. Itās about a deeply compromised manāmentally, emotionally, pharmacologicallyābeing entrusted with the levers of power by a president so corrupt he didnāt care who was pulling the strings, as long as they were loyal and rich.
And MAGA? Silent. The same people who called Hunter Biden a national threat for smoking crack in 2017 are now lining up behind a man whose urine might be 50% Schedule I substances. Their moral outrage has always been conditional. Musk spoke their language: cruelty masked as candor, delusion dressed up as genius. So they shrugged and looked away.
Trump gave the richest man on Earth a machete, and Muskāhigh, manic, and morally voidāhacked away at the nationās infrastructure with glee. Thatās not eccentricity. Thatās complicity. And every MAGA voter who cheered them on owns a piece of the wreckage.
